Abstract

We study the critical breakdown of two-dimensional quantum magnets in the presence of algebraically decaying long-range interactions by investigating the transverse-field Ising model on the square and triangular lattice. This is achieved technically by combining perturbative continuous unitary transformations with classical Monte Carlo simulations to extract high-order series for the one-particle excitations in the high-field quantum paramagnet. We find that the unfrustrated systems change from mean-field to nearest-neighbor universality with continuously varying critical exponents. In the frustrated case on the square lattice the system remains in the universality class of the nearest-neighbor model independent of the long-range nature of the interaction, while we argue that the quantum criticality for the triangular lattice is terminated by a first-order phase transition line.
